Compliance testing isn't built for operations

  • Regulated lab testing — PRECISE BUT SLOW

    Centralized labs. Designed for audits & documentation. Results take days.

  • Operational testing — NEEDS FAST RESULT

    Rapid screening & troubleshooting, so you take decisions in the moment. Results in minutes or hours, not days.

Detect bacteria and biofilm in minutes — not days

At the core of ExactBlue rapid tests is functionalized gold-nanoparticle chemistry. Engineered nanoparticles bind directly to bacterial and biofilm markers in your water sample and trigger a clear, visible colour change — delivering total-bacteria and biofilm results on-site in as little as 15 minutes. No incubator, no central lab, and no shipping samples away and waiting days for an answer.

How rapid gold-nanoparticle testing compares

  • ExactBlue — Functionalized Gold Nanoparticles

    Result in minutes. Detects total bacteria and biofilm directly. On-site colour change with a quantitative readout on the Mobile Lab reader — no incubation or lab required.

  • HPC Paddle & Dip Tests

    24–72 hours to a result. Require incubation, count only culturable heterotrophic bacteria, and miss biofilm. Read semi-quantitatively against a comparison chart.

  • ATP Test Kits

    Fast but non-specific. Measure total ATP / organic load rather than bacteria — they can't isolate biofilm or species, and sanitizer residues can interfere with the reading.
